The the R 9 280X. Sapphire is one of the biggest and best brands for AMD graphics card in my opinion.

Within hat budget I would go with AMD if you are not recording gameplays. Because Nvidia users can take advantage if Shadowplay to record for free.

Thanks having been reading that the fans can be noisy?

HHS it is. For silence I would go with Asus for Nvidia. But for AMD go with Gigabyte it has three fans and most of my AMD friends who are fanatics to save money say it is pretty quiet. However I am not too sure about their definition of quiet. But if you want quiet I believe the Sapphire Tri-X will do well in terms of performance and quietness.

Not at all...I've had plenty of Sapphire graphics cards and they are probably the quietest ones. My new Asus card is actually louder.

Im going to go with the first you suggested with the twin fans. Is there much difference in the two performance wise?

How would this card perform compared to PS4?

A Tri-X means three fans and pbviosuly will have better cooling and much quieter too. ;) 

Well a PS4 is most likely to compete with a Radeon 7790 or any graphics card adoring that perfromance. So the R9 280X will definitely outperform it anyday.

Would make a mess of its hardware from 2008 and then laugh at its 30 fps games with a big grin on its face.

You can't assume the performance of the PS4. It has as many texture units as the 290X, has a unified bandwidth architecture and the raw TF power is between a 7850 and a 7870. It's much better than a 7790.
